Editorial interest 82/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A county-by-county guide to radio systems, live feeds, encryption status, and scanner compatibility, with a finder for checking what may work in a given area.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-09 issue.

For: Scanner listeners checking coverage in a US county
Worth noticing: The site says it has 40 county guides and 188 cited sources, with guides dated and checked by hand.

Field notes

The finder is organized around country, state, and county, and the homepage marks some counties as having full guides. Its examples separate agency coverage rather than treating a whole county as simply audible or silent: Alameda is listed with encrypted police and rarely encrypted fire, while Bexar County is listed with encrypted SAPD and open fire and EMS. The site says its guides are hand-checked and its sources dated.
